No. If some people's property values go down, others will go up. It's all the same to the Council. Sorry the government won't prop up your wealth.

Do you know that for a fact? Bc it seems like several options lead to overall decreases in property values versus a zero sum game.

Property values should not be the priority. Student needs should be. You don’t care about the kids, just money.

Property values fund schools. Caring about property values is actually caring about kids.

Option 3 still has most kids going to a school close to them. Most property values will not be impacted. Some will go down, some will go up, and it will be a wash. Be more worried about DOGE.

No it does not. And again you have no way of knowing it will be a wash.

Oh my goodness, yes it does.

It also has some pretty nice areas with SFH zoning in the DCC rezoned to BCC. Those values have been rising and this would give them another big push up. And the Veirs Mill and Highland ES areas that would be zoned to WJ would be completely transformed in 10 years. So many teardowns. This will be amazing for property values in some pretty dense areas.

Why would DCC people want to be rezoned to BCC?

Not option 3 specifically but BCC is not far for Woodlin, etc. It's not even further than Einstein depending on where you live.

But everyone is talking about better opportunities in the DCC magnets. Don’t you not have those at BCC? This is an honest question since I don’t live in either one.

All of those islands in option 3 mean people aren’t living close to the schools. Why is this hard.

You are only looking at the islands and completely ignoring the much larger areas that would still be assigned to the nearby school. Why is this hard.

DP. Magnets and special programs aren't set in stone either. The program analysis may move everything around too.

Most current DCC families probably do not want to be rezoned to BCC but as this thread illustrates, there are families that buy houses for the schools, and you would absolutely see an increase in this in areas that are being bussed to BCC and WJ from the DCC.

Bc shipping Farmland to Kennedy is longer than having Farmland go to WJ or Woodland. Carving out portions of the zones and making kids cross through multiple catchment areas versus going to the closest one = more busing.

So you’re saying the uncertainty of the magnets makes people want to switch from DCC to BCC?

Seems like that would mitigate the overcrowding at Wheaton with oversubscribing WJ and also makes the FARMs levels a little more comparable between WJ and Woodward. All without bussing kids long distances.

I'm very ok with this.

BOE won't be because it's only a tiny sliver of GP Elementary for the entire scope of VM Elementary.

If something like Option 3 is chosen, it will be devastating to Farmland neighborhoods like Old Farm and North Farm. These are lovely neighborhoods with a big sense of community, with kids playing on sports teams together and with adjacent neighborhoods, like Luxmanor. Houses currently sell quickly at over $1 million. These houses will not be able to sell if the kids are zoned to be bused across the county to Parkland and Kennedy. It might not be as bad if they still went to Tilden and families could hold off until high school for private. But no one will buy in these neighborhoods if they can buy in a nearby neighborhood zoned for WJ, Churchill, Wootten, or even Woodward. Would you?

You've lost the plot. We were talking about property values.

No, we don’t. The magnets take only a select few and allow kids not from in the dcc. Blair takes what, 100. Our school does not have science ap classes or math after bc.

I'm not worried about property values or tax revenues. I think it will be wash. I own a house in the DCC and its value wouldn't be impacted by any of the options.
